Summary
Quentin Houbre is an Artificial Intelligence Engineer and cognitive robotics researcher with 11 years of experience, currently advancing multimodal cockpit interaction at Rightware after an extended doctoral program at Tampere University. His work sits at the intersection of neuroscience, developmental psychology and robotics, aiming to enable robots to autonomously discover and learn new skills from minimal information using neuromorphic sensing and dynamic vision. Quentin has driven European research (ODIN H2020) on humanoid autonomy and investigated social-behavioral mechanisms for safer human-robot interaction during earlier PhD placements, blending theory with applied systems. Based in Tampere, he pairs deep academic training in cognitive science with hands-on engineering in AI and embedded perception, bringing a curiosity-driven approach that frames exploration and attention as core levers for lifelong robot learning.
